On side note... the Carrera RSR 3.0 sounds absolutely splendid, what a fun car. Didn't know driving was that fun and also quite so euphemous in 1974

Quote from Shirtkicker :

Porsche has been in the habit of exclusively licensing their cars to single developers, which is why it's been more common to see RUF in games up to this point. I'm only speculating here, but maybe the Turbo S is still under license to some other company...

A long time ago, Porsche licensed their name to EA exclusively for a 15 year term. EA had the right to sub-license the Porsche name to other game developers, but they rarely did that. The term of the exclusive agreement expired this year (2016), and so now Porsche are able to license their name to other game developers again. Expect to see Porsche in many more games, not just Assetto Corsa. ProjectCARS have also dropped several thinly veiled hints that Porsche cars are to be included on ProjectCARS 2.

I do like the Porsches, allthough I didn't have much time to play with them yet. Quick look at my personal highlight, the 718 Spyder which is the closest my favourite car in NfS Porsche unleashed, the 550 Spyder:

Gotta try the new DLC!

OMG :

We’re aware that the Porsche 911 RSR 2017 is one of the most sought after cars in the Porsche Pack Vol. 3 DLC and we know how excited the community is after seeing it unveiled just a few weeks ago. Right now, we’re working incredibly closely with the Porsche R&D department in order to reproduce this car the best we can!
The 911 RSR 2017 is not an upgrade of the previous model, but a totally new car. As we want to ensure the best experience possible from this amazing model, we unfortunately need to spend a bit more time on it, meaning it won't be released as part of the Porsche Pack Vol. 3 DLC next week.
We know this will come as a disappointment to our community but please be rest assured, the wait will be worth it! However, we wanted to find a way to apologize for the delay…
Since we announced the Porsche Program, we noticed that some players were disappointed with the absence of the 911 Turbo S. Today, we’re pleased to announce that the Porsche Pack Vol. 3 DLC will now include the 911 Turbo S!
As for the 911 RSR 2017, this will be available as a FREE upgrade of the Porsche Pack Vol. 3 DLC in January!
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the thrilling performance of the iconic 911 Turbo S, while we work to complete the 911 RSR 2017. Not only will you have the best ending to 2016, but we’ll kick start 2017 with an incredible car!

They're going to have a good early retirement off the backs of gullible sim racers. A DLC a day helps you work, rest and play.

YES!!

That's such good news, I'm actually excited about this!

Completely unexpected.

Those Porsche are very nice to drive !! But the 911 Turbo S and the 911 R are my favourites


For next year :
http://console.assettocorsa.net/assetto-corsa-end-year-blog/

* Laguna Seca planned for the middle of the year
* Do you like city tracks? Drift layouts? Endurance courses? Then you will get all of them, with a new circuit, that will be available as free bonus content, in 4 different configurations, ideally placed in Scotland and created in partnership with Nvidia and Sparco.
* new free bonus cars, like the Mazda 787B, the Miata NA, the new Maserati Quattroporte and the new Audi TT
* “British Pack” that will bring you the latest line-up from McLaren, Lotus and maybe, something more
* we’ll welcome you again in our beautiful Italy, the Country of Alfa Romeo, Maserati and the Ferrari

If it is placed in Scotland it has to be good . The free stuff looks nice and so do the dlcs

Wich kind of excuses will they find to not implement rain this time ? (track inside Scotland)

They are bringing in 10 foot snow drifts and a new driver aid, whisky. !

10 foot snow drifts would be nice if the physics could handle it properly.

Not sure whether to buy this and SLRR 2.3.1 or just Ride 2

This and SLRR, one is a great fun sim the other is just a fun game to play around with

I'm thinking that too, but I'm in love with Ride 2



Lol why is here?

Yep, I'm definitely not buying Ride 2. Never ever gonna support the devs after all that's happened today and the DLCs issues.

F*ck Milestone, worst devs ever

Exclusively licenced content of LFS inside other sim? That's asking for problems...

Realism is on level of 10 years old arcade car GAME

LFS content in other games has been happening for years.

rFactor

Assetto Corsa

SLRR

TrackMania

GTA IV

GTA V

All have LFS mods, whether it be cars or tracks.

Current SO looks kinda flat and lifeless on a game that has way better graphics engine.
